Frijolito

Frijolito serves as a primary site for researching ecological adaptation, particularly for C. allenii in Panama.

Here is a solid feature breakdown of Frijolito based on 2015 ecological research: frijolito

The site maintains significantly higher soil gravimetric water content (49.4% average) compared to C. villosissimus habitats (32.0%). Frijolito serves as a primary site for researching

The habitat presents lower light availability, averaging around 11.3% of full sun (PAR) in the wet season, which favors shade-tolerant adaptations. Contextual Significance villosissimus habitats (32

A critical differentiator is its higher rainfall during the dry season (January–April), recording an average of 92.6 mm compared to 69.2 mm in surrounding areas like Gamboa.

Based on ecological studies within the Panama Canal watershed, acts as a distinct, specialized habitat characterized by unique environmental conditions compared to nearby areas like Gamboa. It is a critical, high-moisture area that serves as a representative habitat for specific species, notably C. allenii .
